Getting Started GigaPACK 1.0 Inova GigaPACK The Inova GigaPACK comprises two completely separate hardware components that are dealt with in this user’s manual:1.) GigaCHAMPION® - the ATI Radeon™ VE-based PCI graphic board with internal USB routing and GigaST)R transmission technology and 2.) GigaHUB® itself - a small desktop receiver unit with GigaST)R receiver, built-in USB hub for up to 4 devices and one DVI-D interface for flat-panel monitor connection.
GigaPACK Getting Started 1.11 Installing the GigaCHAMPION GigaPACK Now that the computer has ben prepared, you are ready to install the PCI GigaCHAMPION graphics accelerator board. Follow these hardware instructions carefully to ensure installation is correct. 1 VIDEO OUTPUT CONNECTOR DISPLAY CABLE Remove the power from your computer and ensure that the power cord is no longer connected.
Getting Started GigaPACK 3 SCREW H EXISTING GRAPHICS CARD Remove any existing graphics board from your computer (if the GigaCHAMPION is designed to replace it!) or disable the on-board graphics capability on the motherboard. You may have to refer the documentation that came with your computer to perform this step. If removing an existing PCI card remember to save the locking screw. 4 IONVA GigaCHAMPION™ VIDEO CARD PCI SLOT Locate the PCI graphics slot and if necessary, remove the metal dust cover.
Getting Started GigaPACK 5 1 GigaPACK SCREW INOVA GigaCHAMPION™ VIDEO CARD Use the included 1.5m length of USB A-B cable to connect the PCs external USB to the GigaCHAMPION face-plate. Ensure that the bank of switches on SW1 are correctly set - Switch 2 ‘ON’ is the default setting and configures the remotely connected display as the boot monitor. 6 DISPLAY CABLE 15-PIN D-DUB TO LOCAL VGA 9-PIN D-DUB TO GigaHUB Now replace the PCI board fixing screw and the computer cover.
Getting Started GigaPACK 1.2 Software Installation 1.20 Microsoft Windows®XP or Windows®2000 New hardware will be detected after you restart your computer. To complete the setup you must click ‘Yes’ when prompted to restart the computer. 1.21 Windows®XP or Windows®2000 Driver With Windows®XP or Windows®2000 running on your computer, you need to install the Inova driver to take advantage of the higher performance, resolutions and the special graphic features afforded by the GigaCHAMPION.
